Here is why BJP needs AAP

The weakening of the Aam Admi Party will be bad news for the ruling BJP. It's because its strength in New Delhi and Haryana is important to ensure that the Congress doesn't gain in strength.

Says @pradip_k_varma, "BJP has to prop up AAP for a few more years. Else INC will strengthen in Delhi and then Haryana. 17 Lok Sabha seats at stake."

It's an irony that BJP needs AAP when the Arvind Kejriwal party was allegedly propped up by the Congress to negatively affect the saffron party in 2014. But its poor performance in Punjab and Goa assembly elections in 2017 has dented AAP's importance. Thereafter, the Congress to stopped pinning hopes on it.
